STUDY METHODS AND ANALYZE THE RESULTS OF POLYMER SULFUR SYNTHESIS

Abstract

This paper presents research on methods of measurement and analysis (SEM
scanning electron microscope, EDX material composition, TG/DTA differential
temperature and mechanical properties analysis). On the synthesis of sulfur
polymer from elemental sulfur and carbon disulfide solvent during elemental
sulfur melting. Elemental sulfur concentrations are 81,0% wt, carbon disulfide
concentration is 76,14% wt, volumetric ratio CS2/S ranged from 0,875/1.0 to
1,5/1,0. Reaction temperatures kept between 140°C and 200°C. The response
time lasts from 2.0 hours to 5.0 hours. At this condition, the reaction yield is 70-
90% of the theory.
